Chapter 103: Don't panic, let's hear what the Emperor of Technology has to say
The promotional video wasn't long, about fifteen minutes long, and it ended quickly.
There is not much content shown in it, that is, this battle on the lake, after a fierce battle, with the cooperation of the fishing Lao Suo and the swordsman in Tsing Yi, all eight men in black were killed, and even the last man in black who saw that the situation was not good, turned around and fled, was dragged back by Lao Suo with a fishing line, and was beheaded by the swordsman.
In the end, after the two said a few words, Lao Su gave the swordsman a token called "Sanjiang Order", and the progress bar of the video came to an end.
This game looks a bit interesting...... Looks like a lot of fun......
Aroused by this video, Huang Xiaoming rolled the mouse wheel and moved the page to the bottom of the video.
But there's nothing else there, there's no game introduction, there's no release time, there's no pre-sale button from last time, and there's only a pre-order button, which says that it will be notified when the game is officially released.
There are still more people who have made reservations under the reservation button, and now there are more than 400,000 people, and they are still rising. Huang Xiaoming did not hesitate and clicked the appointment button.
The battle in the video is very martial arts, especially the two wonderful light skills in it, which are very attractive to former martial arts fans like Huang Xiaoming.
Let him also very much want to control the swordsman in Tsing Yi, treading water, sword energy, and fighting with unknown underworld forces!
However, after the last "deception" incident, Huang Xiaoming was extremely wary of Penguin's promotional strategy, although it now looks like the actual picture is correct, but who knows what the game will be like when it officially comes out?
Moreover, the deceptive promotional video last time, isn't it a real picture in it? This time this martial arts game is the same, and even the game name has not been released!
Let's see what other people online have to say.
So Huang Xiaoming closed the propaganda page, opened the browser, and opened the search engine.
"Penguin, martial arts stand-alone" carriage return.
Maybe it's because the promotional video just came out, and there isn't much content about this new game in the search results, most of them are news about Penguin's previous release of "The Legend of the Storm".
But after all, Huang Xiaoming is also a veteran of frequent Internet surfing, with rich experience, and after a few flips, he clicked into a well-known domestic stand-alone game forum and entered the miscellaneous area.
There happened to be a post inside that was deliberately marked in red and held high:
[Shen Jing, a detailed analysis report on the Penguin's new mysterious martial arts stand-alone]
As we all know, Penguin has just released a new martial arts stand-alone game, and released a promotional video for the actual machine. But in view of the last "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes" incident, I was slapped in the face, and my left and right cheeks hurt, so to prevent the penguins from making any more moths, my analysis is more conservative today.
First of all, this is definitely a martial arts game, and it is a stand-alone game, and the Penguin promotional terms are all written, so there should be no accidents.
Second, in terms of graphics, this is a very delicate 2D game, and the penguin side is not promoted with the name of a 3A masterpiece like last time, so it should be a small production of high-quality products, and the price is expected to not exceed "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes".
Third, judging from the battle shown in the video, the gameplay is almost the same as the traditional ARPG game, which can be regarded as an optimization and enhancement of some classic martial arts ARPG games, and a certain amount of innovation has been given in the picture performance and battle mode.
Okay, with the conclusion out of the way, let's move on to the detailed analysis of the game itself.
Let's talk about the game's picture first,This is a purely hand-drawn 2D game screen,The picture itself is very exquisite,It's the top 2D game screen now,And the Chinese style is strong,The artistic conception is far-reaching,The overall light and bright,And the dark and bloody ghost animal style that foreigners like is very different。
Everyone's love for various art styles is also different, but personally, I still like this Chinese color ink style of picture style.
And then there's the characters.,The painting division of the characters that appear here is very distinctive.,It's obvious that it pays tribute to the previous classic domestic ARPG games.,It's a very delicate pixel style.。
Just like those classic games we play now, "Diablo 2" or "Sword and Demon Seal", although there is no criticism in the gameplay, but they are far behind and the current picture is not satisfied, compared with the current game, the overall picture of these old games is too blurry, that is, the pixel style of the old game.
And although the character style in this martial arts game is also pixel style, the pixels are clearer and clearer, more numerous, and smaller, plus the normal character proportions it uses, rather than a cartoonish two-headed body, so the overall look is very realistic, clear, and the details are extremely high.
In addition, I have to mention their portrayal of the 3D expressiveness of the characters, as we all know, how can the characters on the 2D plane show the effect of 3D? In addition to drawing characters in more three-dimensional, a common method is multi-faceted mapping. To put it simply, it is to draw the textures of the four sides of the character, so that with the action of the character, the characters of different sides are mobilized, the back is facing, the face is facing, the left side is the right side, although it is only a flat image, but the whole character is much more three-dimensional.
And this game is different, in addition to the general four directions of front and back, left and right, it also adds four side characters of left front, left back, right front and right back, which raises the three-dimensional sense of the characters to a new level! Make the movements of the characters more fluid, fight, and more expressive!
Next, let's get to the point, and that's the battle in this game!
Martial arts games, especially martial arts games with real-time combat, the specific performance of combat is the most important.
It's like some garbage games, such as online games of the "Legend of Strange", where you go up and take a knife is to cut, purely looking at the DPS data, if the data is high, you will be hacked to death, and if the data is low, you will not be killed, which is simple and direct, and it is not very interesting.
Like some classic games, such as "Sword and Sealed Demon Record", there is a unique combo mode, players can freely edit moves, and each skill can be matched with each other, which can play a very gorgeous fighting effect when fighting, of course, there are certain requirements for the player's operation.
And this game obviously learns the routines of classic games, and innovates!
I think everyone has noticed that the fighting in the video is not on land, but on the lake. This is obviously a battle scene carefully selected by the Penguin Game publicity team, in order to highlight the important system of "light power" that is very important in this game!
Obviously, in this martial arts game, treading water is not something that can be done casually, it requires special corresponding light skills, such as the "Treading Waves" used by the protagonist.
We can see that after the use of this light skill, a white circle will appear around the protagonist, and the player must click in the white line before the white line disappears around him, so as to tread water and fly vertically, fly to the place where the mouse clicks, and it can't stop for too long, I see the speed at which the white circle disappears, it's less than 2 seconds.
So, fighting on a lake is not the same as fighting on land, you have to keep flying and moving for less than two seconds. Otherwise, they will sink into the water like those defeated men in black.
The other "Shapeshift" is different.,It's obviously a light skill specially used for fighting.,Eight phantoms appear around in an instant.,And then the protagonist can teleport in that phantom shadow under the click of the mouse.,This is very useful in the battle, whether it's dodging.,Or attack.。 It's just that the duration is a little shorter, I estimated, and it looks like less than five seconds.
……
Then there's the offensive skills, and in the video, the protagonist has a total of five skill icons in his skill bar, and he uses four of them.
The first is a straight sword stab, emitting a silver sword aura that can penetrate a person; One is a sword slash, emitting a sword qi that slashes people; One is a long sword that draws a circle around the body, forcing back several enemies at once; One is a long sword swinging forward, emitting five sword qi.
The performance of these four skills is different, and the consumption of true qi is also different, among them, the consumption of the five sword qi is the largest, and the blue bar is obviously cut down.
It is worth noting that those skills only light up when they are used, but do not turn gray and go into cooldown. In fact, when fighting the Man in Black, the protagonist does use the same move multiple times in a short period of time, which is very different from the cooldown setting of skills in normal games......
In addition, what has to be noticed is the blue bar, in a normal game, generally speaking, the red bar is the blood bar, and the blue bar is the blue bar. But in this game, the blue bar consumed by the skill in it is silver, which is very similar to the color of the protagonist's sword energy, so I have to wonder if this blue bar will be related to the protagonist's skill performance.
